Consent Orders for Less
You’ve separated from your partner and (finally!) reached an agreement on who gets what… It’s now time to make your agreement legally binding. If you’re not there yet, Consent Orders are not for you.
We know how expensive legal work can seem to be as you’re researching across the web. Traditional law firms can easily charge over $3,000 to help you separate from your partner. But this comes on their time frames, with their costs added.
It doesn’t have to be that way… Our lawyers can help you get Consent Orders for less. Save time and money, with the exact same legally binding outcome...
Sure, we can offer you the full-service, where we take care of every detail. If you’ve got the money, it’s a great option to have an experienced lawyer holding your hand through the process from negotiation to the courtroom.
But the truth is... getting Consent Orders doesn’t have to be so hard. That’s why we can offer Consent Orders Documents to you from just $990*.
We’ve made an easy online system that allows us to get what we need quicker and more effectively. No, you don’t need multiple lawyer meetings (often charging over $300+ an hour!), going over whether your split seems fair.
We’ve made it as easy and as simple for you - provide the details we need, have a quick chat with our legal team, and our lawyers then prepare your Consent Orders. After that, you just sign the application and we’ll file it with the Courts!
How It Works
Enter the information online. We’ll gather some basic details about you, your former partner, and the assets and debts of the relationship.
Speak with a family lawyer. Our legal team will call you for a free consultation about your situation, and gather any further information (if we need it). You can rest assured that you’re on the right track!
Documents prepared. Our experienced family lawyers will draft your Application for Consent Orders (including the minute) on your behalf. No more wasting your time painfully trying to read through the many government websites and templates.
You sign & we lodge. After your application is completed, we’ll send you and your former partner copies for signing. Send it back, and we’ll lodge it with the courts for you! How easy is that?
Why You Need Consent Orders
It can be exhausting trying to reach an agreement after you separate from your partner. Who gets what? Can I keep this?
Now that you’ve reached an agreement, it’s time to safeguard your future and sever the financial relationship with your ex.
With Our Essentials Consent Orders Package, you’ll get:
- One on one time with a lawyer to make sure you’re on track (included at no extra cost!)
- A legally binding, court-ordered agreement on what’s being divided, split, or kept.
- Certainty that your agreement is final - meaning your partner can’t come back years down the future, demanding that they want a “bigger slice of the pie” (it happens, and without a legally binding agreement, it’s completely within their rights to do so).
- Peace of mind that the relationship is over - it’s time to move on!
- We will lodge the signed documents with the court.
What happens if you don’t Get consent orders?
Warning!
If you’ve reached an agreement with your former partner, There are only 2 ways to make it legally binding:
- Getting consent orders.
- Signing a Binding Financial Agreement (BFA).
Signing a piece of paper, statutory declaration or affidavit does not make it legally binding.
Consent Orders cost less than a BFA so they’re the ideal situation for lots of people.
Without consent orders or a BFA, your partner can simply change their mind (no matter what you've signed). In this case, they can go after you for more.
Delaying making your agreement legally binding (e.g. signing consent orders) can also be risky. The court will look at the assets you both have now (not at separation). So if you receive an inheritance, your property increases in value, you win the lotto, your business increases in value, you earn more money, you get a redundancy or you get a pay-out after you’ve separated - your partner can go after those extra assets.
≈ There are also deadlines that apply to financalising your property split. If you fall outside the deadline, you might be prevented from getting anything (we discuss this in more detail below).
Protect yourself, and get consent orders now.

Why consent orders can be difficult (without legal help)?
Why it's so hard without a lawyer
“We found the process difficult, bordering on distressing” - what an MKI Legal Client thought before they used us.
The application for consent orders has over 50 complex questions. Then there is the Minute. The Minute is the most important part of your consent orders application… You have to get the Minute right as it documents exactly how your assets and debts will be divided, and what your legal obligations are - lots of people mess this part up completely.
Many people even submit the Consent Orders application to the court only to get rejected. If you get it wrong, that’s more time and more stress added to the process…
It’s already stressful enough to separate and then reach an agreement… The final stage is making sure the agreement is recorded legally. This is the most important part!
It is a difficult document, a lot of people struggle to wrap their head around it.
You really want to make sure it's done correctly. When dividing everything you own, including your home and all the superannuation that you’ve worked hard to accumulate, it’s important to get it sorted properly. If not, you may miss out on assets and money. Your partner may walk away with more, with you getting less. You may even try it yourself and get rejected by the courts, costing you even more in the long run.
With MKI Legal, we take care of it and cut what you don’t need out.
You’ll get your Consent Orders done right, with assistance on the process and lodgement.
Save time, money, and get your agreement recorded properly... It’s not just filling out the court form, it’s the minute, lodgement with the court, and so on.
Simply put, if you stuff it up, you lose out.
We reduce stress and make it easier for you to deal with… We take care of it for you. Having a lawyer do it for you just makes it all easier.
Can I do it myself?
“One of the most complex things I’ve seen” - what people tell us when trying to complete the application for consent orders documents themselves.
A lot of our clients tell us that the application for consent orders (or Form 11 in WA) is “one of the most complex things they’ve seen”. Many who attempt the 20+ page court document struggle to fill it out, or don’t know where to even start. Many struggle to get their head around the minute as well (or are not even aware that a minute is needed). Some clients have told us, “We tried to do it ourselves but just couldn't’.
It’s simply best to get it done right by an expert who knows what they’re doing.

What You Don’t Get
Our Essentials Package ends with you getting Consent Orders for a fraction of the price. We provide the essentials, and do away with some of the costly extras…
Negotiation
Come to us with an agreement in place. For this package, we can’t help negotiate with your former partner, or help you determine what a ‘fair split’ looks like. This often takes months of back and forth communication with you, your ex, and their lawyers. By coming to us with an agreement, you can save thousands. Reach out to us if you need help negotiating with your ex partner.
Superfund Transfer
Are you planning on splitting superannuation funds?
The essentials package is still for you but there is an additional fee of $440 when splitting superannuation, as our team needs to work directly with the super fund to facilitate the transfer. Even with this extra cost, you can still save thousands!
If you think you need more assistance with your matter, like help with negotiating, view our Full Service option.
Our quality of service and attention to detail remains!
You still get lawyer reviewed and approved documents… We’ll even lodge them with the courts so you don’t have to. You’ll just have to send us back the signed documents.
If our affordable, low-cost, quicker Consent Orders Essentials package sounds like the right fit for you, Get Started.
